I'm beginning this thread with the happy news, and relief, for me that I have moved my two tanks away from where I plan to build the new guy.

The space where my old tank was, is to be the site for the new tank, and after much stess and hassel, i seem to have got it done without any losses (fingers crossed), and nailed a crab that was chowing down on one of my biggest corals.

The builders are knocking down walls and adding a floor to one side of the house. We needed space for kids, and I convinced the wife that it was the perfect time to design a dream tank, that we really needed it. He He.

I was at Rob’s place the other day and was in total awe of his amazing coral collection. I’m really glad I got a chance to see it before it got shunted out the way for the new tank, but am salivating with anticipation after he explained to me what is in store for the new set up. By the way thanks once again for yours and Adriaan’s hospitality.

The tank is 2.5m long x 1.7m wide. At the height of the bow its 2m wide. The height will be 850mm. Tank to be veiwed from 3 meter bow side and 2.5 m straight side.

Adjoining room gives access over the C2C overflow.

Their is a catching/ aclimitisation tank attatched. This is something Glyn saw in Germany, tank can be separated with slide down eggcrate, so new fish can get used to new environment in peace. Also when you release them you then get the existing agro fishes to come in for a while while the new guys figure out the new tank. Less stress/disease.
